+# Email notification via SMTP server
+
+This pipeline demonstrates how to use the exit handler in the Kubeflow pipeline to send email notifications via the SMTP server. The exit component is based on the [send-email](https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog/tree/master/task/sendmail/0.1) Tekton catalog task.
+
+## prerequisites
+- Install [KFP Tekton prerequisites](/samples/README.md)
+- Host or subscribe to a [SMTP server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol)
+
+## Instructions
+1. Modify [secret.yaml](secret.yaml) with the following information. Then create the secret under the Kubeflow namespace (for single user) or User namespace (for multi-user).
+
+* **url**: The IP address of the SMTP server
+
+* **port**: The port number of the SMTP server
+
+* **user**: User name for the SMTP server
+
+* **password**: Password for the SMTP server
+
+* **tls**: The tls enabled or not ("True" or "False")
+
+    ```shell
+    NAMESPACE=kubeflow
+    kubectl apply -f secret.yaml -n ${NAMESPACE}
+    ```
+
+2. Create a shared persistent volume claim for passing optional attachment.
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml -n ${NAMESPACE}
+    ```
+
+3. Compile the send-email pipeline using the compiler inside the python code. The kfp-tekton SDK will produce a Tekton pipeline yaml definition in the same directory called `email_pipeline.yaml`.
+    ```shell
+    # Compile the python code
+    python send-email.py
+    ```
+
+Then, upload the `email_pipeline.yaml` file to the Kubeflow pipeline dashboard with Tekton Backend to run this pipeline.
+
+### Pipeline parameters
+
+* **server**: The name of the secret that has the SMTP server information
+
+* **subject**: Email subject (plain text)
+
+* **body**: Email body (plain text)
+
+* **sender**: Email sender email address
+
+* **recipients**: Email recipients email addresses (comma space delimited)
+
+* **attachment_path**: Optional attachment path from the previous path
